Cemetery

The Jüdische Friedhof Wangen is a Jüdische cemetery in Wangen, a district of the municipality of Öhningen in the rural district of Konstanz in Baden-Württemberg. The cemetery is a protected cultural monument and is located north of the village above the forest (Gewann Am Hardtbühl).

The dead of the Jewish community were initially buried in Baiersdorf, until in 1891 a separate cemetery could be established in Erlangen. A long period of planning and application had preceded. Initially, the Jewish Community of Erlangen had received several negative notices from the responsible authorities, until in April 1891 a plenary resolution of the city council allowed the construction of a burial ground "Auf dem Berg 11 1/2". The cemetery was consecrated on September 30, 1891 by the Fürth District Rabbi Dr. Jakob Neuburger.
